235 comments on a topic which led nowhere. Ross will go at some time, accept it. Macinnes for his part appears more sensible than most other ex rangers players and realised he had everything to lose by taking on that job. Now could we focus on our own fortunes please?

I couldn't give a toss if Ross stays or not. As long as the Team gives 100% , they will be supported in every match.

Ross blew his credibility by disgracing our Club in the Challenge Cup fiasco. ( still no apology from him or Fowler )

If that was the case it took them about 6 weeks to get round to asking and then speaking to him.

I reckon it was because they either couldn't get the candidate they really wanted, or they couldn't raise enough money to compensate Aberdeen or that they genuinely thought he would go running to them and they could simply play the waiting game and then get him for buttons at a tribunal.

THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.

The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.

The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.

After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.

In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club.
